Summary

Portraits from the Heartland examines the sculpture of Duane Hanson and its cultural connections to the artist's Midwestern roots. Duane Hanson (1925-1996) was born in Alexandria, Minnesota, and raised in the nearby farming community of Parkers Prairie. The catalog's essay describes how Hanson's connection to the Midwest profoundly influenced his art and his unequivocal recognition of the everyman and everywoman.
